Instructional Strategy Ideas: “I Do” • Teachers should be modeling content area reading strategies such as annotation of text from the textbook, Gateway book, or any other supplemental material. Teachers are also suggested to use primary/secondary sources such as political cartoons referencing unions, industry workers, or the government & economy of this time period. • Teachers may use a PPT that guides students through notes, but is limited to the designated timeframe of the “I DO/WE DO” portion of the instructional framework. “We Do” • The political challenges of the 1890s made for a dynamic situation among the parties, especially with the challenge of a third party, the Populist Party. Have students create a Foldable in their Interactive Notebook to help them analyze the platforms of the three parties. Different students might organize the parties’ platforms according to the problems the electorate perceived, or according to the groups and/or regions each party appealed to. Materials Needed: one sheet of 8.5" by 17" paper, glue, index cards. “You Do” • To understand the rise and fall of Populism students will create a list of the factors behind its rise, and the factors behind its decline. They should then annotate those factors with their impact on American Society.
